You have a tab open from a Tuesday in March. You have not opened it since. You also can't close it. Somewhere in there is the link you actually need right now.

The browser is not the problem. The browser is just the only place you have been putting things. Here are three apps that take that job back.

The stack:

Resurf · the catch-all bucket for the things you keep saving
mymind · the visual archive for the things you save because they look good
Reference Board · the working wall for the things that need to be seen together

1. Pick a Bucket That Is Not Your Browser

The first move is admitting that the tab bar is a memory system. It is just a bad one. Resurf gives the browser somewhere else to put its overflow.
